So I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for 19 years (I’m only 20) and for about 2 years my health was very bad because I didn’t have insurance and I was depressed and angry and all of the above.

I started dating my boyfriend about a year ago. We were fine in the beginning but as my health started declining it was apart that he was annoyed with me. I was thinking “who tf are you to be mad at me for what I can’t control” but at the same time I wasn’t helping my situation too much either (eating bad foods, going out, etc)

So now I have insurance and medications but still have some depression spells and issues from my previous state. I’m trying my best to work them out silently and go see the doctors I need. Our relationship has improved tremendously but whenever I started having depression spells again, he started getting annoyed 😒

He told me that “it’s overwhelming to hear that you’re sick all the time” and I’m like 😒

I love him and I know he loves me but I’m tired of being around people who aren’t supporting me. How are you gonna get mad at me when I’m trying with the limited resources I have to get better? That doesn’t happen often but type 1 Diabetes is chronic so I will always have issues.

What are your thoughts?
